A BIG Happy 100th Birthday goes to BETTY SMITH, a 29 year resident of Walden. Her family hosted a big celebration for her on May 11th, 2018 at the Walden Community Church. Many friends and family were on hand to help her celebrate. LAW ladies, you may remember Betty from the summer swim aerobics classes. Betty always made her appearance, albeit a little late, but she rarely missed "working out" with us all through the summers. Happy Birthday, Betty!

RUSSELL BLIESE made his first hole in one at Walden on Lake Conroe Golf Club on Hole #12 with a Wedge from 112 yards during the annual St. Mary's Men's Club Charity Golf Tournament. Congratulations Russell. BOB EVANS made his hole in one over water on #6 using his nine iron. More eagles are flying! REESE WINN, Connie Winn's granddaughter, scored an eagle on #18. SUSAN SNIDER chipped in on #9 from a greenside bunker for her eagle recently.

Congratulations to new MUD 9 Directors ROBERT GINANDT and CURT HARRIS. LINDA WILSON was re-elected for another term. MUD 9 meetings are held each month at 9:00 AM on the third Thursday at the Yacht Club. The meetings are open to the public.

NORMA REED hosted this month's Social Bites luncheon with the theme of "something good". The "something good" turned out to be parmesan chicken, baked spaghetti, carrots with pineapple, and artichoke and rice salad and from scratch pineapple upside down cake. Yummy! Not a big fan of cooked carrots, I tried a new recipe to make "something good" from them. It seems that butter, brown sugar, cornstarch, and some canned pineapple chunks can make even cooked carrots taste good. If you want the recipe, let me know. The regulars, including Norma, myself, SUSAN CONLY, ELAINE HEROD, JACKIE ST. CYR, PAULIE GEISELHART, JOANNE BERRIDGE, were joined by luncheon JOAN BLIESE. As usual, the ladies discussed, and politely cussed, all the problems in Walden, Montgomery County, Texas and the World.

The secret is out. We have our own little Augusta right down the road. It takes the form of the Conroe Club golf course. With an invitation from CAROLYN GINANDT and a nod from Pro RON HERRIDGE, our group played among majestic oaks lining the lush nine hole course. There were fast greens, relatively few bunkers but the water hazards on the par threes claimed plenty of Walden balls. We fared somewhat better on the second time round the course. Joining the group for the day were JAN LEE, PEGGY DEVINE and MARGARET SHARP.
